    Cheers! I know, hatchbacks seem to be dirt magnets too! A quick wash will do until the weather improves!

    My car has only been washed once since last Sept. And that was for it's NCT last month. If the younger me knew I was doing this to a car he'd shoot me.

    For my first few years of car ownership nothing would stop me giving it a weekly vacuum and wash. I could write my name on the dash now :(

    Isn't aerodynamics or whatever it is that causes the dirt to collect in certain places mad? Like at the back of the quarter panel, many and the panel joined to it is spotless! And the ends of the doors.

    And even with the mudguards, the rear bumper behind them is covered!

    Id say aero contributes hugely to the dirt on the back of a hatch, there would be huge suction in the void behind the car as it plods along so the dirt will get hoovered onto the boot :mad: Saloons generally dont suffer is as bad, but Id imagine the dirt collects elsewhere on those!

    Few scenic shots. Just got them before the sunset! Passengers wouldn't get out, hence the slammed look!!

    According to here there was a shark where the boat in the bottom pic when I was getting out of the water. Reported as a 2.5m unknown at Rous Head. :pac::pac::eek:

    Raging I didn't get to see him to be honest! :cool:

    The C5 Wheels are being refurbed this week. I didn't realise that I could change colour (to a single colour or two tone etc.). I've been arguing with myself over just leaving them as they are or two toning them all last night. I woke up this morning and the idea of two toning just seems crappy. I reckon it'd look too shoddy (the C5 wouldn't pull it off well, and it'd look too boy racery I think, for such a not-boy-racery car).

    However, 2 minutes in photoshop to see what an all-black wheel would look like caught me by surprise - i really like it! The upshot is that yer man will do whatever I want, colour wise, but if i dont like and want to change back, it'll cost €200 to change them again (and i'll have to leave it a few weeks for the paint to set properly, so i'll be stuck with something I hate for a few weeks and down an extra €200).


    What do ye guys think. Obviously the editing is shoddy as hell, but I think the black actually looks really well.. am i delusional?

    Too much black for my taste. The silver alloys give a nice contrast.

    I'd say the same that's a lot of black on one car I prefer the current colour.

    Ethan Large Veil I think the current wheels look great on the car. They make for great contrast

    Here's another quick and rough edit:


    20160219_124403_2_3black.jpg


    Bigger version here



    I can see what ye guys are saying about it being too black but I kinda like the blackness. I do also quite like the contrast of the clean silver wheels, especially as the chrome trim on the car kinda runs around the car at the bottom (and the silver chrome and silver wheels kinda keeps that theme running).

    But I think the black looks that tad more aggressive or ominous or something and matches up well with the black car and tinted windows. Decisions, decisions :o


    EDIT: I kinda wish he didn't say anything about colour to be honest. If I never had the choice I wouldn't even be thinking about it!

    But it's a c5 estate, there's nothing aggressive about it. It'll look like you're trying too hard to me :)

    It pales in comparison to some of the fine motors that are posted here, but it's my first car and I love it :D
